The DEEP Groth Strip Survey. II. Hubble Space Telescope Structural Parameters of Galaxies in the Groth Strip
Weiner, Benjamin J.; Illingworth, Garth D.; Faber, S. M. +7 more
The quantitative morphological classification of distant galaxies is essential to the understanding of the evolution of galaxies over the history of the universe. This paper presents Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 F606W and F814W photometric structural parameters for 7450 galaxies in the ``Groth Strip.'' These parameters are based on a two-dimension…
Optical and Near-Infrared Imaging of the IRAS 1 Jy Sample of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. II. The Analysis
Veilleux, S.; Sanders, D. B.; Kim, D. -C.
An R and K' atlas of the IRAS 1 Jy sample of 118 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIGs) was presented in a companion paper (our Paper I). The present paper discusses the results from the analysis of these images supplemented with new spectroscopic data obtained at Keck. All but one object in the 1 Jy sample show signs of a strong tidal…
Abundances of Deuterium, Nitrogen, and Oxygen in the Local Interstellar Medium: Overview of First Results from the FUSE Mission
Kruk, J. W.; Savage, B. D.; Shull, J. M. +33 more
Observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) have been used to determine the column densities of D I, N I, and O I along seven sight lines that probe the local interstellar medium (LISM) at distances from 37 to 179 pc. Five of the sight lines are within the Local Bubble, and two penetrate the surrounding H I wall. R…
A Hubble Space Telescope Survey of the Mid-Ultraviolet Morphology of Nearby Galaxies
de Jong, Roelof S.; Conselice, Christopher J.; de Grijs, Richard +12 more
We present a systematic imaging survey of 37 nearby galaxies observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in the mid-UV F300W filter, centered at 2930 Å, as well as in the I-band (F814W) filter at 8230 Å. Eleven of these galaxies were also imaged in the F255W filter, centered at 2550 Å. Our sample is car…
The Structure of the Local Interstellar Medium. I. High-Resolution Observations of Fe II, Mg II, and Ca II toward Stars within 100 Parsecs
Redfield, Seth; Linsky, Jeffrey L.
High-resolution absorption measurements (λ/Δλ>~100,000) of the resonance lines of Fe II, Mg II, and Ca II are presented for all available observed targets within 100 pc. The Fe II and Mg II spectra were obtained with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) instruments aboard the Hubble…
Deuterium Abundance toward G191-B2B: Results from the FUSE Mission
Kruk, J. W.; Sonneborn, G.; Moos, H. W. +19 more
High-resolution spectra of the hot white dwarf G191-B2B, covering the wavelength region 905-1187 Å, were obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). These data were used in conjunction with existing high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations to evaluate the total H I, D I, O…
Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies: Atlas of Near-Infrared Images
Clements, D. L.; Colina, L.; Rowan-Robinson, M. +6 more
A sample of 27 ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) systems has been imaged at 1.6 µm using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). These ULIRGs are from a larger sample also imaged with HST in the I band. Images and catalog information for the NICMOS subsample, as well as brief morpholo…
A Uniform Analysis of the Lyα Forest at z = 0-5. III. Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph Spectral Atlas
Bechtold, Jill; Tran, Kim-Vy; Dobrzycki, Adam +5 more
We analyzed the absorption line spectra of all quasars observed with the high-resolution gratings of the Faint Object Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We examined 788 spectra for 334 quasars and present line lists and identifications of absorption lines in the spectra of 271 of them. Analysis of the statistics of the Lyα and metal…
Emission Line Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei from a pre-COSTAR Faint Object Spectrograph Hubble Space Telescope Spectral Atlas
Green, Paul J.; Forster, Karl; Koratkar, Anuradha +3 more
UV/optical emission lines offer some of the most detailed information obtainable about the intrinsic properties of quasars. Studies of the density, ionization and metal abundance of gas near the accreting black hole are probed through an intriguing but poorly understood complex of correlations between emission lines and overall quasar spectral ene…
Abundances of Deuterium, Nitrogen, and Oxygen toward HZ 43A: Results from the FUSE Mission
Kruk, J. W.; Sembach, K. R.; Sonneborn, G. +12 more
We present an analysis of interstellar absorption along the line of sight to the nearby white dwarf star HZ 43A. The distance to this star is 68+/-13 pc, and the line of sight extends toward the north Galactic pole. Column densities of O I, N I, and N II were derived from spectra obtained by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), the c…
